It seemed as though even Bob Hughes, when you look at this dating history between the times he was married to Lisa and eventually, to Kim, the show also seemed to put him in relationships with women who looked demonstrably younger than him. I'm not sure if Anne Sward was in the role of Lyla Montgomery when Bob and Lyla were engaged but I remember looking at a scene between the two that supposedly took place not long after their engagement had broken up and couldn't help but think how much younger Lyla (Sward) looked than Bob. Back then, I think the show had a "yen" for putting younger women with their most senior male characters. Ironically, two out of three of those male characters found their best pairings with women who would be considered age appropriate to those characters.

I'm not sure how many people are aware of this 1619 Project (which has conservatives whining and complaining) but this serves as a fairly decent complement to the series. Fortunately, I knew all of this history that's been presented in this piece but only because I either learned either by reading about these events (which family members obliged as education was of paramount importance in my family though we were essentially immigrants) or because I took courses in African American history and culture in college. I remain astonished that this is not a part of a basic primary or even high school education in America. The absence of this history in the curriculum speaks volumes of why the country is in the state it is in.

^^ I'm pretty sure that video has been posted to this thread awhile back.

How many people under 50 actually still watch cable news?

Not sure who likes an unstable stock market but if there is, somebody will surely tell me, lol.

I mean, there's a difference between recognizing human life gone and giving deference where it is not due and has not been earned. The Kochs have made it their lives' work to institute policies that made many lives demonstrably worse. When I made that post upthread, that was pretty much the most I could muster.

David Koch is dead, everyone. Dassit.

I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised that these things take place in an industry where the genre's writers and producers feel that it's perfectly appropriate to write a character as a rapist, then write that rapist as a romantic hero less than two years later. And audiences were groomed to accept this!

Is anyone surprised that there was a "Me Too/Times Up" situation at ATWT, especially in that final decade? Look at who was in charge. Look at how characters were being written. I'm not even surprised at this. I was expecting it at some point. Ironically, while many others were trying to write a hagiography of Eplin and his "exceptional" effect on the show's history (which is, kind of ridiculous when you think about the length and breadth of this show's history), I wasn't feeling it.

Nah, that's not what I asked though. The trolls who used to prowl around these messageboards (who are no doubt, still lurking) are the ones I posed that question to. I'm smart enough to realize that big business usually fares well while middle, lower and the poor go through hell. No need to state the obvious.

ICYMI: The last jobs report had to be revised DOWNWARD by about half a million jobs. So, how are those vaunted Trump tax cuts working out?😏

Apparently Puig had moved to Chicago to be nearer to Murray's training academy facility.

If non-migrant children start dying, I'm not sure that this will provide enough of an explanation. The question will be why/how did the U.S. let this happen when they obviously had the tools to stop it? With the way this nutty administration works, it's likely that a few workers at the detention center could refuse vaccination and become carriers themselves (even if they never exhibit symptoms). That would be a recipe for a flu outbreak.

Looks like Sloane is back with Kamau Murray. Don't know what this means for Monica Puig though.

Like I said in the post on the previous page, people shouldn't be lulled into a false sense of security that the flu or any disease will remain contained within those detainment camps. Disease inevitably finds its way out, into the general population.

It's as if Sascha Baron-Cohen were writing an extended skit!

I mean, every now and then you can find a gem (if you're willing to sit through 2,000 commercials) but the time you waste sifting through all the detritus is worse than any Netflix queue!

Who the hell still watches Dancing With the Stars??! Or Dancing With The "Star", as Whoopi Goldberg used to refer to it. Meanwhile there's an inept madman in the White House who refers to himself as King of Israel and Jesus Christ Superstar after backing out of an international visit with Denmark because he was rejected in a bid to buy Greenland.

So, in Trump's quest to undue the Obama era regulations, he didn't foresee that California and several automakers would thwart his plans with even tougher regulations. Ha!

You don't know from terrible until you've gone through the list on the Roku Channel, lol.

I'm starting to wonder if maybe he's part of the reason why there are no DVD Collections or online streaming of episodes of Head Of The Class.

What a stupid decision by the government. This is not just to protect the detained migrant population but also the larger population who could contract the flu. These centers are not hermetically sealed, it only takes one un-vaccinated worker or guest to "carry" the virus to the outside population. Also, the basic premise of having sick incarcerated children and adults suffering and possibly dying of the flu is just inhumane.

For all the justifiable criticism that The New York Times gets, this 1619 project is definitely representative of the best of what The NYT could be.

From what I've read, Twitter actually alerted Facebook that this was happening.
